The Annapolis and Baltimore Short
Line Railroad will be regularly opened
tomorrow for freight aud passenger
trains. Three passenger trains win be
run each way between Camden Station
and Annapolis. leaving Baltimore at $50
A. NJ, and G p. NJ, and Annapolis at &. 40
A. NJ, IL noon and 4.20 p. M. Arrange
ments with theatre parties will be made
for evening trains from Annapolis. The
company will operate its line, and only
has agreements with the Baltimore and
Ohio for the use Of the Camden Station
terminals and for its tracka from Curtis
Bay. The Short Line is being extended
from Curtis Bay toward Baltimore, which
will make it three miles shorter than it
now is by way of the Curtis Bay Branch
OF the Baltimore and Ohio. The company
has three locomotives and 16 new passen
ger coaches with which to commence bus
mess The road-bed is sand and gravel
ballasted, and is % miles long from An
napolis to Cliffords, at Curtis Bay. The
stations are as follows. liffords, Pun.
phreys, Iinthicums, Shipleys. Wellhams,
Cromwells, Traceys. Marley, Johnsons,
Robinsons. Boones, Round Bay, Revells,
Arnolds, Winchester, Geddings, Annapo-
lis. Passenger stations will be built at
soillc Vi thesc places, ana the 0LnerS Will
be flag stations. The passenger station at
Annapolis will be completed as soon as
practicable. 1t is proposed when the
road bed is well set, after the weather set
ties, to reduce the run between the two
cities to forty five minutes. The Short
Line Company, by the force of circum-
stances that has arisen, has become the
close ally of the Baltimore and Ohio, and
will get the full advantage of the Bay
Ridge Resort summer business by rail
road. The Annapolis, Washington and
Baltimore Road has become equally as
close an ally of the Baltimore and Poto-
mac TOAD by way of the junction at Oden-
ton, which is midway between Baltimore
and Washington.

3 o'clock reached depth of one hundred

Of the society Is to dedicate Christian

the work has been principally among the
colored people. IT has expended g, 600,

enc at Little Rock, and the total number
of men and women in the Southern States
under its care is 5000. Seventy-fiye col
ored physicians have been educated, The
church is coming TO recognize that while
there is much TO do in other lands, the
Indians, Chinese, anarchists, and other
elements are to be met here. The negro
is in the United States and will remain
here He is rapidly increasing Five
hundred colored children are born every
twenty-four hours. As long as they were
slaves they could be held; as long as they
were freedmen they could be held,
but when we see 100000 Of them it
is no longer a question exactly, What
shall we do for the negro!" They
will have their rights; they will be
educated, and it is simply question, who
will do it? Since the surrender at Apo
mattox the Methodist Episcopal Church
has built over 1000 new churches in the
South, and church property is represented
by over SO, 600, 900. We had to take the
best preachers we could get at first. Our
bishops in the South have ordained hun

seen one reading the hymn with the book
